Confused about REX, FEX, GEX, UTX & FTX

[Skittles]

I've been reading up on all these add-ons. But I can't figure out how they inter-relate.

The most common combination I find is FTX & REX.

Anyone care to elaborate?

Thanks for your time,

I have REX; GEX US, Canada, & Europe; UTX US & Europe; FTX AU Blue, US PNW, PFJ, & NRM.

I love them all, except I set UTX or GEX, can't remember which, to display photoreal cars and that was a mistake. I can't fix it due to current problems with my setup. REX is great for clouds and water, GEX for ground

textures, UTX for roads, etc. FTX is awesome ground scenery, and includes many, many airport upgrades, buildings, etc. I wish FTX was available globally. And every one of these works fine with all the others, no conflicts

other than runway lights, which is an easy fix explained in the FTX manual. I highly recommend all of them. I don't have any of the mega scenery but I have seen some very nice screenshots by people who have it. Don't

know about any possible conflicts.

That's more info than I hoped. Thanks. If I get software with overlapping features, can I set which get rendering priority?

That seems to be a steep price for color management... is that for a multi-monitor display?

I do not have multi monitors so I can not say how well it would work.

You can join the support forums at Integrated-Color (ColorEyes Pro) and ask.

It will have to do with how you have the monitors hooked up.  If you are driving all monitors through one GPU output then the answer is no.

I think that hardware like TH2G takes one GPU output and then splits it for multiple monitors.

If you have a GPU with two outputs and are driving one monitor off of each output then I think that there is a way to do it.

As far as the cost, look at it this way, people spend $2,000 or more on a PC and monitor, but they balk at spending $200 to calibrate the display of their $2,000+ system.  To me that does not make a lot of sense.  When I first calibrated my Asus VW266H I could not believe the difference, I had never seen colors and scenery look so good!  Also the $200 you spend now you will be able to use for years.
